Unified Point-of-Sale is the dakis point-of-sale for camera stores and photo labs.
It runs on the same platform as your webstore, kiosks, and lab, so equipment, prints, film, and repairs are sold from one catalog and one customer record.
What it is
Unified commerce
One point-of-sale for equipment, prints, and services
Unified Point-of-Sale is built for what a photo business sells. Cameras, lenses, and accessories go through the register alongside print orders, film development, repairs, kiosk jobs, and work sent to an outlab. Each one is taken, tracked, and closed in the same system, on the same customer record, because the point-of-sale is part of the platform that already runs your lab and your website.
Equipment
Cameras, lenses, accessories, and used gear sell with serial numbers tracked through any return or repair.
Print and personalized products
Print orders use the catalog your website sells from, with paper, size, and finish carried to production.
Film development
Film orders open at the register and are tracked through development to collection.
Repairs and service
Repairs open as service orders, are assigned to staff, and notify the customer as they move.
Kiosk orders
Kiosk orders enter the same order flow as everything sold at the register.
Outlab fulfilment
Outlab orders are sent to a third-party fulfilment from the same record as everything else.

Frequently asked questions
What is a unified point-of-sale?
A unified point-of-sale is a register that runs on the same platform as a retailer's other sales channels, so in-store sales, online sales, inventory, and customer records share one system rather than being synchronized between separate ones. A sale at the register updates the same stock count the website sells from. A customer who buys online and in store has one purchase history. Staff work from one login and one catalog. For camera stores and photo labs, a unified point-of-sale also takes print orders, film development, and repairs at the register and carries them through production to collection, in the same system that sold the equipment. dakis Unified Point-of-Sale is built on this model for photo retail.
How do I choose a point-of-sale for a camera store or photo lab?
A camera store or photo lab needs a point-of-sale that goes beyond general retail. Look for serial number tracking on equipment, support for trade-ins and used gear, repair and service orders with staff assignment and customer notification, and the ability to take print orders and film development at the register. Check whether the point-of-sale shares inventory and customer records with the webstore in real time, or synchronizes between two systems on a schedule. Confirm what transfers from the current system, what hardware is supported, and whether payments run inside the platform. dakis Unified Point-of-Sale is built for camera stores and photo labs and covers each of these on one system.
Can a point-of-sale handle film development and print orders?
dakis Unified Point-of-Sale does. Film orders open at the register and are tracked through development to collection. Print orders use the same catalog the website sells from, with paper, size, and finish carried to production.
Does dakis Unified Point-of-Sale track serial numbers?
Yes. dakis Unified Point-of-Sale holds serial numbers against individual items, so a camera body or lens can be traced through a sale, a return, or a repair.
Can I use dakis with my existing point-of-sale?
Yes. dakis integrates with third-party point-of-sale systems. dakis Unified Point-of-Sale is for retailers who want the register on the dakis platform rather than attached to it.
Does dakis Unified Point-of-Sale sync with my online store?
